No. If you don't care about graphics, you can run without QE/CI (useful only for file servers).

@spongeyperson managed to Hackintosh the C655-S5212 (Here's the forum link: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...working-hackintosh-installation-guide.123323/) and it has the same or similar graphics card as the C655-S5082. So why would the 082 work?

Google shows that particular Toshiba has HD3000 (it it has Sandy Bridge CPU). Completely different hardware.

Yeah, my Toshiba has a i3 Sandybridge with Intel HD 3000, not GMA Graphics, so the method would be different.
